Nick Foles may not totally be out of the picture just yet, no matter how little he did in practice on Saturday. Foles is still taking some first-team snaps.

As least that is what the Eagles' quarterback said Sunday after practice. How many? When? With whom? That's somewhat unknown.

Practice was closed to the media (but not VIP fans). It will be like that on Tuesday and Wednesday as well. They have an off day Monday. Every bit of information on the hottest quarterback competition in the NFL will now come from word of mouth and Saturday's preseason game in Jacksonville.

Believe what you like. The Eagles have decided to close the curtain on their offense and practices prior to their season opener in Washington.

It's believed the quarterbacks alternated Sunday, much like they've done throughout the summer. That means Foles went with the first team in the first and last two live periods. Vick would have played with the first team in the middle two live periods.

"We're switching. We're doing what we've been doing," Foles said one day after spending almost all of practice with the second team. "You've all been here watching us throughout camp. So we're doing the same stuff."

That means one day Vick starts with the first team, the next day it's Foles' turn. Vick was first up on Saturday. Foles' day was supposed to be Sunday.

But the Eagles' second-year quarterback wouldn't cop to beginning with the first team, even when asked directly by yours truly. Instead, at the behest of his head coach, Foles sidestepped the question as if it were a pass rusher trying to take off his head.

"We split the reps, you know, alternating," he said, answering the question without giving a straight answer.

They may have split the reps, but Vick could have gotten the first crack at it for the second straight day. That would be an indication which way the Eagles were leaning.

Vick is coming off another stellar preseason performance on Thursday night against the Panthers. He's had a tremendous camp, protecting the ball better than anyone could have expected and throwing with increased accuracy.

Foles has also done well. He's performed at a level that he thinks is deserving of a starting spot.

"My mindset stays the same, my work ethic stays the same no matter what," he said. "My ultimate goal is to always play."

In the end, it will not be Foles' decision. That falls into the lap of coach Chip Kelly, who continues to remain undecided on his starting quarterback.

Kelly is trying to keep his team from providing hints. Foles wasn't the only Eagles player unwilling to talk about where he stood on the depth chart during practice. Rookie safety Earl Wolff also declined to comment on whether he practiced with the first-team defense. (He did by the way.) Wolff is competing with Nate Allen and Kenny Phillips for a starting safety spot. Phillips remained sidelined from practice with a quad injury.

Kelly said this weekend that he has not decided on a quarterback rotation yet for Jacksonville. If the Eagles are indeed rotating, it would be Vick's turn on Saturday.

That was Kelly's explanation for starting Vick the first preseason game. He said it was the veteran's turn in the rotation. All signs point to Vick getting the nod in the third (and most important) preseason game against the Jaguars as well.
